It'll probably get a little better...my truck is rated at 15 city/19 highway but I get about 16 city/ 23 highway. The 6.1 doesn't have cylinder deactivation yet so maybe it won't

the markup is illegal in Canada, actually... surprised US dealers can get away with it.

**Zapper2003** · 07-12-2008, 06:58 AM

Local dealer here has a new challenger. Sticker laying on the dash still says 42k. Not sure what they actually will get for it? How do you know what the dealer is marking it up?

**9t8z28** · 07-12-2008, 07:01 AM

Ugly!

**35thz28camaro** · 07-12-2008, 07:18 AM

i like the car but they are SLOW! there was one at the track last night and it was slower than my z28 was when it was stock!

**bodyman5000** · 07-12-2008, 07:39 AM

That is sweet as hell. I can't wait until gas is 12 bucks a gallon and you can buy one of these cars for five grand. Yipppee.

We've had 3 or 4 come through the Dodge side at the dealership I work at. Not to bad but I'm not much for that tone of orange.

**dfillmore827** · 07-12-2008, 07:56 AM

I think they look pretty good, would never purchase one but interior and exterior appearance gets an A.

**2fast2blegal** · 07-12-2008, 08:38 AM

this may be stupid but how much power is this rated at?

**INeedLS1** · 07-12-2008, 08:41 AM

I can't believe how big they are. When I first saw one in person it looked like it was twice the size of my bird.

**BrntWS6** · 07-12-2008, 09:27 AM

I saw one at a local car show for the first time and I think the car is very well done. The seats look very comfortable and it's rolling on 20's. People aren't buying these for the mileage, although 13mpg is pretty damn piss poor. My Chevy work van gets 14mpg and it weighs 10,000lbs with all my tools in it.

I wonder how long the dealer mark-up will last.

they look like shit

That's odd. The magazines have already run them to low 13s. It's basically a Charger SRT8, which runs low-to-mid 13s all day.

It's got the 6.1L 425HP engine in it.

The "limited run" of 08s is fueling the markup right now. But once the 09s come out, I would figure that to stop. Champion Dodge in Barington, IL has already stated they will be selling them at below MSRP when the 09s start hitting the ground.

lol I love the way stickers say NO CHARGE for a full tank o gas ... Because you have already been charged for it on the invoice ....lol...Sharp car , but will be before the R/T comes out that you see many one the road ...

**shady milkman** · 07-12-2008, 11:57 AM

fuck the challenger..looks like its mentally challenged ..with the droopy hood line around the lights..and the back looks like the creation from a drunkin 1 night stand between a nsx and a crx

..if i wanted heavy shit id buy the ford explorer

**Hi-Po** · 07-12-2008, 12:01 PM

I like the looks of the car. I think they did a good job with it. Not to crazy about the ass end lighting, cool looking car though. I will never buy one, I would drive it. But they have to way alot.

Anyone know the actual weight of the car??

Nope but everyone is going to say it is slow unless it runs low 12s ... dont matter if it weighed 2500 pounds ..
